The Government have announced major changes to the visa system following several reports on the The Donal MacIntyre show. The reports by the programme team forced the Government to admit that the system was failing and needed to tighten up. Click here for the full report. On Last nights show we revealed the latest phenomenon of steroid abuse among teenagers. The latest figures say that up to 23,000 young men have admitted to using drugs. This is causing major concerns with significant health problems associated with the abuse of steroids. The new trend is not for sports success but vanity purposes. I am looking at the rise in the use of steroids among teenage girls for another investigation. If you have any knowledge of this trend please contact me on donalreporter@gmail.com.

On my regular scam busting slot on This Morning this week I called for ideas from the 1.5 million viewers to try and secure complete confidence in online shops. The truth about shopping online is that there is no guarantee that the website you are on is in fact secure and genuine. I wonder if a Government freephone helpline could be the answer – perhaps genuine retailers would register their correct url in this directory and this would give consumers some decent confidence while online shopping. This could be paid for by the major retailers from Amazon to Apple – and this could save consumers billions every year. I am seeking ideas and solutions – any suggestions could you please send them through to the This Morning website or my email; donalreporter@gmail.com. Lets see if we can crack this one and then get the Government to make it work.
